We had a WiiU when it was released but didn’t play it much once we had a baby. Then the Switch came out and we got rid of the WiiU not realizing how many awesome games wouldn’t be moved over any time soon. Now that my kids are older (4-10) and more active, we wanted the interactive games like Wii Sports and the Resort game to burn off some energy with COVID keeping everyone home and it’s looking like this winter will be more of the same. Not super economical since it’s about what we originally bought one for but it’s been super fun and as we gather more games I’m sure it’ll be money well spent to get my kids energy out. The unit we bought is like new and was easy to connect to the tv, it’s not horribly out of date graphics and we are all excited to play Yoshi’s Wooly World (again).

Wii U is a great gift even in 2021. Bought this as a Christmas gift for my 11yr and she loves it. We have an original Nintendo Wii which she plays but because of the game pad she uses her fingers more and of course she can sit and play. Splatoon is very fun and engaging, the funny characters makes it enjoyable for any age group. Of course Super Smash Bros is a hit which never gets old. All n All the system is worth buying still in 2021.

I love the sleek design of this console. The games that have been released for the Wii U that I've actually played are all well designed and fun. I also like that the console is backwards compatible with Wii games. Some games offer the option of using the game pad or Wii U Pro controllers, which is a nice feature. Some games require the Wii Motion Plus Controllers, which neither these or the Pro controllers come with the console, and they are kind of pricey. My only real complaint is that the console doesn't offer a wired Ethernet option, but if you have a solid wireless connection, it's not bad. I've never had any issues with it dropping the wireless connection. As with any newer console, sometimes the game updates take a while to install, but with faster internet speeds, it's not too bad. Overall, I love this console and enjoy it very much and highly recommend it!Read full review

I always wanted to get the first gen Wii system but never got around to do so. But now after getting the Wii U I must say, it's awesome. My son and I love it. It's been a long time since I played Mario kart and its been a blast. The graphics are awesome, the games are so much fun. The best part is the Wii U is backwards compatible. This means we can play all of the Wii games on the Wii U. But you need to get the Wii remotes to play the old games. I would recommend getting the Wii U plus remotes so you can use them with both old and new games. I also purchased Splatoon for the Wii U and both my son and I love that game. The graphics are awesome and the game is lots of fun. So far, the system is working great. Looking forward to playing some more Mario games.
